When I was in the market for a new boat in 04, I looked at a lot of them.
I settled on a 20' STARCRAFT "Fishmaster".
It has a 135HP I/O with a 10 H/P Kicker and a 75# Bowmounted Minkota.
Most of my fishing is in the sound and Straits with quite a bit of time bass fishing lakes throughout the state.
I was concerned about the lighter aluminum hull. but this thing takes the rough water better than most.
Another nice thing is that they are a bit lighter to trailer and easier to launch with one person.
The 55 Gal. fuel tank is alos nice.
The hull design is fantastic, these boats were made for the Great Lakes fisheries which is as rough as anything we have. We can stay out in the Straits after most aluminum boats are blown off the water and be fine.
Check these out before you buy, they are a lot of boat for the money and Starcraft has been in business for over 60 years, so they must be doing something right.
I'm really happy after 14 years.
Goood luck on your search.
Rob.
